Sounds therapeutic...thankfully, no "happy endings" from certified athletic trainers and PTs.

35thstreetswarm Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Surprised nobody's mentioned that we're at the 60 game mark: with 37 wins, two more than last year. It seemed the Twins' one extra win (36-24) entitled them to quite a bit of "the Twins are the class of the division/the division goes through the champs" deference from some posters this offseason. Pretty humbling that we've bested the mark of even those great champions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus. Have they really played 134 games over the last fifteen years? Damn that seems like a lot for teams that aren't in the same division. And it's not like they play long in the playoffs ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 Still one of the best teams in baseball despite losing three highly productive position players to injury. White Sox fans aren’t used to this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Sox fans aren’t used to this! This week is the biggest test yet. 14-5 so far vs. KC and DET. Last year, it constituted a much bigger percentage of overall team success. 99-49 RS/RA as well. This year, those two teams once again comprise roughly half the statistical noise. We’re 8 games over .500 in the rest of our games. That said, the best run of baseball, 76-49 or .608, for the White Sox since the first half of the 2006 season when they were up 26 games at the ASB and had just beaten Papelbon. That’s 98.5 and 63.5 extrapolated for a full 162 game season. The only other similar occasions were 2008, that crazy run in the middle of 2010 to get back into contention...then 5 1/2 months in 2012 and the 23-10 start in 2016. Of course, still 121 games under .500 during the Hahn regime. That averages out to around 74-88 or 73-89 for nearly a decade of Sox baseball. We shall see if we can get back to EVEN or at least close to it the next 5-6 seasons. Still an appreciable improvement from the 71-91 average for 2013-2019.

Harry Chappas Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Now Sox fans/media seem to be convinced that the White Sox are not good because they are feasting on bad teams....I wish they feasted on bad teams in the early 2000's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Twins or Indians in the post-season since 2016, or Sox last year...when you’re not tested very much in your own division (see NL West, AL East for the opposite), it makes it a lot more challenging when the playoffs hit. You can’t survive all the little focus/fundamentals mistakes....not holding baserunners or throwing them out, throwing to the wrong bases from the outfield or missing cutoff men, giving away outs, missed double plays, etc. This week will be an interesting barometer of how good they can play without three starters in the lineup against more seasoned, veteran teams with more playoff experience during the last five years.
